in reply to Data Validation Tests

Make API open so anybody can add new test types with plugin modules without modifying source code of your module.

BTW have you looked on Data::Verify? It seems to be a similar project. Have you considering cooperation?

    An open API is already in the design. Just load the module and refer to it as a 'custom' test. I already have a test module (count and compare) that uses that mechanism because it needed to be able to curry the function.

    As for Data::Verify, I have looked at it, but I'm not sure if it's really practical to try to combine them directally. It's still on my "To Be Considered" list.


    My code doesn't have bugs, it just develops random features.

      Use "Data::Type" instead (was Data::Verify).

 - Now "quite" stable api (alpha).
 - 90% of your requested "value types"
 - Documentation extended.
 - Added more tests.

      
I am always happy about new ideas and contributions via

or directly to me.
